Scandinavian Vintage Geometric Dusty Rose Flatweave Wool Carpet by Marta Gahn for Svensk Hemslöjd BB8191 8'3" × 9'5" $28,000

Designed by Marta Gahn and woven for Svensk Hemslöjd (SH), this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug exemplifies the minimalist elegance of Scandinavian textile design. The composition centers on a warm, rose-hued field subtly animated by striated warp threads, giving the surface a delicate texture and visual rhythm. Small, scattered blocks of color—cream, ochre, indigo, and sienna—punctuate the expansive ground, introducing a playful sense of balance and spontaneity.

The standout feature is the asymmetric border: a richly articulated frame along the rug’s edges composed of dynamic, geometric motifs in complementary tones of periwinkle, rust, ivory, and charcoal. This contrasting detail lends the piece structure and modernist appeal, without overpowering its understated elegance.

Handwoven in wool, this rug reflects the refined craftsmanship and distinct sensibility of Sweden’s mid-century textile movement. A signature “MG” monogram confirms its authenticity and attribution to Gahn.

Perfect as a statement floor piece or a decorative wall hanging, this work blends simplicity with subtle artistry—ideal for collectors of Scandinavian design or admirers of modernist textiles.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
